This is about the time of year when |
he political "leader" squares himself to |

what the possibilities and probabilities

Ter reeling off its slender thread, and there

ne as the other. 1t is very light mat
er for the man who has been in politics
hree or four or five years to tell all
bout the services rendered old parties
y every man claiming membership in
hem. He will, with the utmost compla-
ency, declare that this man is not a Re
ublican, or that man is not Democrat,
nd his air seems to say that his decision
J final, beyond any hope of appeal. The
leader" never stops to reflect that the
len he is pronouncing judgment upon

hen we were living under the widely ex-
nded influence of the war excitement, {
nd the Republican party had a one-sided {
ght, as against the Democracy. Then it
as that the old soldiers and old-time Re t
lblicans, threw themselves into the heat '
the political battle, and made Republi- I
N success a fixed experience along

lusion, after all. The members of the f

rises, logic instead of brass. The great y

me sudden and severe surprises to the O
